Jerrod Niemann tickets on sale now for Grand Prairie Center show

Tickets went on sale Friday, although Holsted said there are still tickets in each price range available. Prices are $39 for the first three rows; $25 for the rest of the fixed seating starting with the fourth row; and $20 for retractable seating.

Tickets are now on sale for the Grand Prairie Center performance by Jerrod Niemann with an opening act by Logan Mize.

The show is set for 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 2, for the country singer whose recent hit is “Shinin’ On Me,” the No. 23 hit on KSSN-FM 96. His past hits include “Lover, Lover,” “What Do You Want,” and “One More Drinkin’ Song.”

Grand Prairie Center Director Amanda Holsted said Niemann’s performance would include hits from his new “Free the Music” album, set to be released Oct. 2 with Niemann bringing his band and a brasswind horn section to perform onstage with him.

“We have had requests from people to have an artist that is being played on the radio — a current artist,” Holsted said. “Jerrod has had three big hits in the past year and I saw him play at Verizon Arena (in Little Rock). He sounds as good live as he does on the radio and that says something.”

Niemann has said that he feels he can be a distinct voice in country music although he realizes he’s standing on the shoulder’s of giants.

“Waylon and Willie are considered hard-core traditionalists now, but they were very innovative back in the day … I think there’s something unique that I can contribute to the format. If I can make somebody laugh, or get someone who’s never listened to country music to come over and check it out, then I’ve accomplished my goal.”

A small meet and greet will be held for a select few. Holsted said area residents would have the chance to win a spot at the meet and greet through the Grand Prairie Center’s Facebook page and through Country 97.3.

The 26-year-old Mize brings the hits “Sunflowers,” “I Remember Everything,” and the “Good Life” to the stage. His collection is considered to have narratives with detailed storytelling that includes hope and insightful wisdom. Mize has said it’s more about fulfilling his goals.

“I just want to write good songs and I hope people like them,” Mize said at loganmize.com. “I like to paint a picture that’s easy to look at and is just something that feels good and has vivid imagery.”

Tickets went on sale Friday, although Holsted said there are still tickets in each price range available. Prices are $39 for the first three rows; $25 for the rest of the fixed seating starting with the fourth row; and $20 for retractable seating.
